Watch this video tutorial which asks you to explore the distrust you live with, and that we all live with, from living in a society that constantly offers bad support, or support that actually takes away more than it offers in the form of debt. What would it look like to reach a wall, and to know that beyond that wall we didn't have to live like this? In this set of exercises we do intense breath, visualization, and movement to connect with and imagine a world beyond financialization. *This video comes with free access to our introduction and warm-up videos.
Wake up your batteries, stat, with this energizing flow led by Tiffany Cruikshank, founder of Yoga Medicine and an expert in the restorative power of yoga.

The slightly longer routine affords you plenty of time to find your center and truly connect with your body, which makes for a happier and healthier day.

Beyond Yoga Essential Long Legging: "These pants are by far my FAVORITE yoga pants. I think I own maybe 7-10 pairs of just the "Essential" legging, and many pairs of other styles/colors. The fabric is to die for. They don't feel like your typical yoga pant, and you'll never want to take them off. They aren't just for working out. Since they don't have a side seam, they are the perfect legging to wear with a sweater/tunic. They also pass the "bend over" test...you can't see through them.

I just got mine so cannot review on how long it lasts. I love the color. I prefer a thin mat so I feel grounded and can hold my poses but when I do restorative or other yogas that I feel I need a bit more cushion I just place this one on top of another thin one and it is perfect. I am not experiencing that my mat is slick like some other reviews stated. I like sticky mats and I think this one is perfect and I do not slide around at all. I am 5'7 and fit on this mat fine but wish they offered a longer mat as I prefer a little more length.

Ask any yoga devotee, and they’ll likely agree on one thing: The practice works your body, mind, and spirit. MacGregor makes a point of this at the beginning of the workout and inspires you to take on a new challenge—all while reminding you not to stress throughout the harder poses. You’ll build total-body strength with planks and chaturangas, and slowly work your way into more advanced poses (like crane pose and headstands). Challenging? Absolutely. Worth it? Oh, yeah!

I started feeling my left knee pop and my back ache at the base of my neck. With any new exercise, it’s normal to feel some new aches and pains while your muscles adjust. When you release tight muscles as you start doing yoga, it impacts your overall posture and muscles in unexpected places across your body, which might make you sore. Since I’m a desk worker, I wasn’t surprised that waking up neglected neck muscles was uncomfortable—they always get sore when I exercise my upper body, and the sensation was familiar.

Both yoga and Pilates have lots to offer advanced exercisers, who can benefit from the improved core strength and body awareness that are typical results of training in these areas. Using mats and equipment from Power Systems, exercisers of all levels will improve their posture, flexibility, and agility. Yoga and Pilates have also been shown to reduce back pain, which is an increasing problem as we age. Pilates exercises develop strong core muscles, which include the deep abdominal muscles along the spine. In contrast to traditional weight training workouts, Pilates focuses on elongating and strengthening muscles while improving both elasticity and joint mobility. The result is a reduced chance of injury.
